Kerio or Sygate Firewall? by zach on 08-13-2005 at 04:34 AM

I want to download a free firewall. What one do you think is best? I have ZA, but it crashes my computer when I connect to the internet :S

Kerio Personal Firewall 4
Sygate Personal Firewall 5.6l


I am using Zone Alarm now because it's working. I downloaded the latest version and now it doesn't crash ;)

Yeah, I have to say I run my computers, all of them without firewalls.

I can't get a router because I just got an adsl modem...

What's wrong with XP's firewall?


RE: Kerio or Sygate Firewall? by The Napster on 08-13-2005 at 08:27 AM

I use Sygate Personal, just because Keiro used to crash my explorer.exe, everytime I accessed "My Computer". Also i like the interface of Sygate's Firewal much more than the (what i finds) bloated interface in Keiros Firewall.

Plus i have 2 Routers... :p

Free zone alarm is ok i guess 8-)

I use ZASS (Zone Alarm Security Suite) and it pwns all .....
Firewall + Antivirus + Anti Spyware + Other Stuff ;)

Maybe it does... :S

I tried Kerio, but it wasn't very easy to use. I couldn't stop it from starting on start-up and it wasn't on the install list. I had to use the system restore.

I will try Sygate now. Edit:When I logged in, I got errors.

What about Outpost Firewall Free 1.0.1817? old.

Can people suggest some more... I have tried like all the free ones and none of them work. I have Pimedius, which is the only one that sort of works, but doesn't seem very good. I think that I will have to stick with the windows firewall.

Edit: I have got ZA working now. I downloaded the latest version.
